The part against the defendant shall be reversed.
A defendant shall be punished by imprisonment for six months and by a fine of three thousand won.
Reasons
1. Summary of the grounds for appeal (the factual error, misunderstanding of legal principles and unreasonable sentencing)
A. misunderstanding of facts and misunderstanding of legal principles as to the statement made at the investigation agency B, which provided a bribe to the defendant, was committed while the assistance of counsel was reduced, and there was no objectivity, rationality, and consistency. On the other hand, the statement made at the court of the original instance imposing the burden of perjury was freely made through the examination by the prosecutor and the defense counsel.

② On September 16, 2015, the Defendant was provided with drinking and entertainment equivalent to KRW 233,333 at an entertainment drinking house on September 16, 2015, and the Defendant was provided with meals equivalent to KRW 415,000 at an entertainment drinking house and entertainment drinking house on December 28, 2015.
③ The Defendant received 500,000 won in cash from B on February 5, 2016, but this is not a bribe but a travel expense that the Defendant agreed with B at the time.
